DO NO HARM: A TORTURE VICTIM REMEMBERS
By Naji Ali, Live from Palestine, 10 July 2008

I wasn't really surprised by the watchdog group Physicians
for Human Rights-Israel's (PHR-I) latest intervention to
Israel's health ministry, in which they accused Israeli
doctors of complicity in the torture of Palestinian
detainees in Israeli interrogation centers. Indeed, it
sounded all too familiar to what I experienced during 550
days of incarceration in a South African prison from 1990
through 1992. Naji Ali writes for EI.

ISRAELI SOLDIERS TORTURE 10-YEAR-OLD IN HIS HOME
Report, Defence for Children International-Palestine Section, 10 July 2008

A 10-year-old boy was subjected to physical abuse
amounting to torture for 2.5 hours by Israeli soldiers who
stormed his family's shop on 11 June, seeking information
on the location of a handgun. The boy was repeatedly
beaten, slapped and punched in the head and stomach,
forced to hold a stress position for half and hour, and
threatened. He was deeply shocked and lost two molar teeth
as a result of the assault.

BIRZEIT UNIVERSITY STUDENT HELD IN ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION
Release, Right to Education Campaign, 9 July 2008

In the middle of the night of 27 March 2008, at around
3am, Hanna Qassis was woken up by a loud thump at the
door. When he went into the living room he saw seven
soldiers standing in his house. His mom had opened the
door. A soldier who appeared to be the commander and spoke
in broken Arabic, asked who else lives in the house.
Hanna, the eldest in the family after his father passed
away, said his brother also lives there. He was told to go
and wake him up.
